IRUNING-BOABD COVER.

Application filed. December 17, 1920.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, SAMUEL C. linrnovrrs, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Brooklyn, Kings County, State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ironing- Board Covers, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to improvements 111 covers for ironing boards, or, in other words, the outside layer of cloth usually applied over the soft padding on boards used to hold clothes or the like while being ironed. One of the objects of my invention is to provide an ironing board cover that can be easily removed, to be washed or for any other purpose, and readily applied and maintained flat.

In combination with my improved cover, I provide means to prevent the hot smoothing irons, or irons used for the purpose of ironing clothes, from burning the cover.

1 will now proceed to describe my inven tion in detail, the novel features of which I will finally hereinafter claim, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, wherein:

Fig. 1 is a top plan View of an ironing board provided with my improved cover;

Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional view, the section being taken on a line 2-2 in Fig. 1;

Fig. 3 is a fragmentary sectional view, the section being taken on a line 3-3 in Fig. 1;

Fig. 4 is a fragmentary perspective v1ew of my improved cover;

Fig. 5 is a fragmentary perspective viewof one end of the cover;

Fig. 6 is a fragmentary plan view, illus trating a modified form of my invention; and

Fig. 7 is an enlarged fragmentary end view, looking from the right in Fig. 6.

As herein embodied, my invention c0n sists of a sheet 7 of suitable material having tapes 8 and 9 secured along the longitudinal. edges thereof, the tapes 8 being single and the tapes 9 double to engage a buckle 10 which in turn will be engaged by a cooperating tape 8. To secure the cover 7 to a board 11, said board having the usual pad 12, the tapes 8 and 9 will be passed under the board Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented J an. MP, 1922.

Serial No. 431,479.

and connected by means of the buckles 10. After the buckles have been engaged, the tapes 8 will be tightly drawn, thereby pulling the cover '7' firmly into contact with the pad 12, thus avoiding wrinkles. The buckles 10 may be of any desired design.

A further feature of the invention consists of means to prevent the burning or scorching of the cover 7 by a hot iron. To this end, 1 provide a removable pad 13 of asbestos or other non -burnable material upon which a hot iron can be placed.

To hold the pad 13 removably in place, I provide the cover 7, at one end, with a pocket 14 to hold said pad (see Fig. 5), said pocket being formed by attaching a sheet 15 of suitable material to the cover '7, in this instance to the under surface. he pad 13 will be placed within the pocket 14: and can be easily removed therefrom. In order that the iron or i1OIll10lCl6l' can contact with the asbestos pad, I form an opening 16 in said cover, 7, which will permit the pad to be exposed. The sheet 15 will be secured to the cover 7 along three of its edges, as indicated by 16 in Fig. 1.

Instead of forming a pocket to hold the asbestos pad, I may provide a pad 17, of asbestos or the like, having binding elements 18 provided with snap-fastener sockets 19 to engage snap-fastener buttons 20 carried by the cover 21. In this latter form, the pad 1'? will be carried by the upper surface of the cover and can be easily applied or removed from the cover.

Having described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Pat ent is 1. An ironing board cover provided at one end thereof with means to support an asbestos pad, said cover being cut away, above said pad, to expose same.

2. An ironing board cover provided with a pocket at one end thereof to receive an asbestos pad, said cover being cut away above said pad to expose same.

Signed at New York city, N. Y., this 15 day of December, 1920.

SAMUEL C. LEFKOVITS.
